Don Carmody hoping to start filming in late Spring

Post by **redrum** » 06 May 2010

A snippet from an interview about Resi Afterlife

"Is the film series still being influenced by the video games, or has it gone off in its own direction?

We have always been cognizant of that -- we can't make the movies just for gamers. Of course, we always run the risk of incurring the wrath of the gamers -- who are very vocal. I did Silent Hill and we are planning a Silent Hill 2 -- we were getting hate mail for that one. I think with Resident Evil, after the first installment, fans realized the story was moving forward in a cinematic way. When you play the game, you are using your imagination -- you kind of sense what things will look like. The games have progressed, and are more cinematic now. In fact, the games are taking a bit from us as well. They are using our sets and characters, we are using some of their storylines... things like that. We're probably a little closer to the game now than we were with the first film.

Can you give us anything on Silent Hill 2?

Just that we are hoping to start it in late spring in Toronto."

Funny. I don't think Double Helix or Climax used Christabella, Rose, Sharon or Chris in any of their games. I guess we can ditch the "characters" usage.

To be honest I'm not really excited for the Silent Hill 2 movie. Whatever they'll do it will probably fit the things within the first movie so none of the games will get "hurt". The first movie was kinda cool, if they keep the same direction I think that the 2nd can be just as good as the 1st one.

You cant argue Homecoming didnt steal the movies sets though :p

^That's why I took out only the character usage and didn't said anything about the sets

The r.p.t. is considered a character more than a monster, so, yes, Double Helix did use a character from the film.

I was so disappointed by the first film that I truly have no hope for the 2nd film unless an entirely new crew was hired. Still, maybe they'll get it right this time around. Only time will tell.

Also they're talking about Resident Evil with that statement.

Love how angry fanboys try to mess things up for everybody else.

Basically everyone on this forum, including me

We should be grateful that Ew Boil isn't directing.

By exactly who? I always considered him as a monster, and some people that I had a conversation with seemed to agree. A lot of forum members think he is a monster as well.

Also they're talking about Resident Evil with that statement.

It don't look like. Maybe I missed something.

Well, I'm just happy we finally got some news!

It's nice to know that the movie is in production, even if we don't have any major details. Such things can come later, I guess!

Exactly!

I don't care what they do with the movie, but I want it out now! And I'm not gonna lie, that Resident Evil movie that is coming out looks freaking awesome! I might go see it.

Our Silent Hill was amazing! I didn't have much to complain about with it, so I trust these guys with the next one.

Thanks for posting this man. NOW this is what I call top notch information!

Well, it's good that they don't feel too tied down by the games. I never was that interested in straight-up adaptations, especially when what's being adapted already has a visual component (y'know, not like a book).

If the movie's good, I really don't care how far it strays from the games.

When is late spring in America? And does this means that script is already finished?

Post by **Severeth** » 06 May 2010

'Bout bloody time; that's all I have to say about this.

It's been over four years. I'm ready for another Silent Hill movie.

Post by **JKristine35** » 06 May 2010

Summer starts in June, right? That means we're either about to start seeing casting tomorrow or he might have meant 2011.

Yessah! My feelings exactly. I only hope that what he means by "late Spring" is this late Spring and not 2011 late Spring.

Although I never like the date definition of seasons in the Western culture, Spring starts generally on March 21 (Spring Equinox) and ends around June 21 (Summer Solstice). So, according to that definition, they should be filming within a month or so.

Also, I'm not quite sure how long ago the interview took place, it was posted yesterday, but it might have done a while ago, since there seems to been have other interviews done over the past few months by that site with the cast

This is great news, but is Roger Avary out of Jail or did he mail them the script (or was the script done before he went to jail)?
